    honey and lemon with tea?
    Daisy!

    Depends on the age of the child. Tea is always good. My son is older and can take a spoonful with or without the tea, and suck on the lemon.
    With a younger child, tea is lovely, and good for you. It's an antioxidant.It will smooth his throat, the honey will calm the cough, and the Lemon has vit. C.
    I suggest a doctor visit, it could be allergies. My son has asthma, it started showing up in a cough. It could be anything, with kids, it's best to be safe.

    Consult a Pediatrician. Home remedies can be harmful to children under certain ages. Specifically, children under 1 years of age should never ingest honey, it is extremely harmful to them.
